Matchup 14 - Amanda Freitag vs. Maneet Chauhan. WINNER - Amanda Freitag 87-85


The final matchup was Amanda Freitag vs. Brooke Williamson and they had to cook with duck, kohlrabi, and a turning slicer in a breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  The "randomizer" miraculously had a 3-course meal and 60 minutes for the finale and not for any other matchups.  The judges decided that Brooke Williamson had the better dishes and she won by a score of 88-87.  Brooke Williamson is the winner of Tournament of Champions and goes home with bragging rights and a new truck.  All of Brooke's scores were very impressive with scores of 96, 94, 92 and 88.
